Kyrsten Sinema doesn’t want people discussing her clothes – she could distract them by communicating | Arwa Mahdawi

The Arizona senator's flamboyant attire and ever-changing style has inspired headlines and intrigue

The Arizona senator Kyrsten Sinema, who memorably posted a photo of herself wearing a ring that said Fuck Off", thinks it is offensive that the media keeps discussing her sartorial choices. Sinema has become a household name in recent months because of her resistance to Joe Biden's Build Back Better agenda, but her flamboyant attire and ever-changing style has also helped keep the senator in the news. She's inspired headlines such as Kyrsten Sinema's Style Keeps Us Guessing (The New York Times) and Take note, AOC - Kyrsten Sinema's bad style actually makes a statement (The New York Post).

It's very inappropriate," Sinema told Politico on Wednesday. I wear what I want because I like it. It's not a news story, and it's no one's business. It's not helpful to have [coverage] be positive or negative. It also implies that somehow women are dressing for someone else."
